I scheduled with Hertz directly. The Hertz office on the field called me when they saw that my pickup time didn’t correspond to any of the commercial flight arrivals and at that point we worked out them leaving it for me at the FBO.

I did it once a few years ago. I got a rental car through Hertz delivered and returned to the FBO— they didn’t realize at first that I was flying in privately and they only staff around the commercial flights, but once we established when and where I was going to be they had no issue leaving the...

I think one of the options on the 430 is to show the cross track distance. I like seeing that, especially on an approach.

With that definition of fun, I would use BKL. Lots of food and hotel options nearby, and it’s as close to landing at Meigs as you can get these days. The only other thing that pops as interesting and would have food and lodging nearby is checking out the blimp hangar at AKR.

It’s really more of a both/and scenario. I can tell you for a fact that the insurer cannot give you an accurate estimate for a procedure without information from the provider because providers will bill differently for the same procedure, and even the same provider may bill differently depending...

That’s after the subsidy. It took me a while to even find what the unsubsidized rate is: it’s about $21.5k annually. So that’s right in line with Bryan’s, actually, my employer just kicks in more.

I just checked my benefits. Full disclosure: I work for a health insurer, but the deal we give ourselves is not as good as the deals we work out with other employers. For medical, dental and vision for a family of 5 I pay about $500/month. Out of Pocket max is $3,700 individual and $7,400 for...

Did they do a second wave of Cessnas, or did everyone still on the ground at Fond du Lac have to do the arrival?

Do you guys think it helped, hurt, or didn’t make a difference?

For the folks that flew in over the weekend, how did the modifications to the NOTAM work out?

I’ve actually had a similar brain fart. I was returning to a towered field on an IFR flight plan but in VMC. It was very hot and bumpy, and for some reason the controller kept me pretty high and was vectoring me on a downwind. Abeam the airport I’d had enough of the bumps and knew I could get...

I’m not an avionics expert, but I’ll hazard a guess. Does the hand mic work? If so, I’d bet the problem is between the intercom and the hand mic jack, as I think for the KMA24 the signal flows from the intercom through the hand mic jack to the KMA24. If it doesn’t work, I’d suspect the wire from...

I was in the same situation. Submitted my renewal 4/27 with maximum expedite. Received my new passport 5/27.

Depending on where you’re going in the city you could still get into LNN or LPR and be about a half hour outside of downtown to the east or west.

What story did you see? It’s possible I misstated something in my brief summary.

The original source for this is this thread on BeechTalk. A couple additional facts from that thread. The pilot approached an airport in the wilderness area, which is specifically exempted from the AC. The specific areas called out in the letter aren’t actually charted as wilderness areas...

They also made a minor change to the hold at Rush Lake: they’re now recommending all aircraft maintain social distancing of at least 6 feet while they’re in the hold.

I’m glad it worked out well for you. I just want to add for the newer folks that the guy that makes them doesn’t recommend custom ear molds. This is what he has to say. Again, whatever works is great, just a caution before you spend money on something that might not work for you.

I haven’t purchased a phone in a store in years. Order it from Apple and have it delivered. I even had it hand delivered same day last time I broke one. Do the restore on the new phone then swap the SIM card when it’s ready and you have almost no downtime.

The approach plate agrees.
